Does anyone sell Apple ibooks for less than MSRP ?

I'm looking for a 12" ibook, preferably the 800mhz model with a 30gb harddrive, CDRW/DVD combo.

apple.com sells it for $1299

They have the lower end 12" 700mhz for $999



The only place I know that even sells Apple products are
CompUSA and the military exchange (AAFES)

On CompUSA's website they list MSRP prices.. do they haggle instore ?

Can't logon to aafes.com .. need to get my dad's information.
even if they do have it at MSRP, at least I wouldn't have to pay tax.

I think apple.com doesn't charge tax either.


I also know that you can get a dicount for joining apple student developers. (cost of membership is $99)

The prices are then

$850 for base model 12"

$1105 for upgraded 12"

I am a student, however I'm not a developer and dont take any develper classes, so that probably won't work



 
Apple gives a discount to students even if you don't sign up for their developer program.

go to store.apple.com and click 'Education' on the menu at the top, then follow the instructions.

going this route will make the base iBook be $950 and the upgraded one would be $1150.


I don't think you need to be a developer to sign up for the student developer program, they just list that you must be at least 18 and attend a university. You won't save much money on the hardware, but you'll get some free developer software.
 
No, they are price controlled. Apple won't allow anyone to sell below MSRP. If they did, they would potentially lose business, which is bad (for them).
 
MicroCenter was selling 12" iBooks with CDRW for 799 at the end of January. That was sweet. I picked one up. 🙂
